roast PECORINO

INTRODUCTION

Roast pecorino is a delicious dish that comes from the Sardinian pastoral tradition. Ideal served as an appetiser, it requires just a few, simple ingredients.

This tasty Sardinian specialty made with aged pecorino and carasau bread was once cooked directly on a log fire. Today, you can prepare it at home by cooking the cheese on the hob or in the oven, or even on a barbecue.

For anyone who can’t resist the strong, rich flavour of Sardinian pecorino and wants to bring it to their table, here’s the recipe for roast pecorino:

PROCEDURE

STEP 1

The recipe for roast pecorino is very easy, and the only challenge is making sure not to overcook the cheese. Start by heating up the hob..

STEP 2

While the hob is warming up, remove the rind, then cut the pecorino into thick slices (at least 1 – 1.5cm in thickness). Put the cheese slices on the hob and cook for around 3 minutes per side. The pecorino is ready when it starts to melt and a thin crust appears on its surface.

STEP 3

Place the carasau bread on plates and put one slice of pecorino on each piece. Season your roast pecorino however you like…perhaps with honey. Enjoy your meal!
